Delhi-6,
a
classic
film
directed
by
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra,
takes
the
audience
to
the
heart
of
Old
Delhi,
where
love,
hope,
and
self-discovery
intertwine.
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Sonam
Kapoor's
captivating
performances,
alongside
the
legendary
Waheeda
Rehman,
bring
to
life
the
story
of
a
young
man's
journey
to
reclaim
his
roots.
As
the
film
celebrates
15
years
of
its
release,
let's
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
iconic
moments
from
the
film
that
make
it
a
must-watch.
A
narrative
of
Old
Delhi
captured
in
frames
When
Abhishek
Bachchan's
character,
Roshan
Mehra,
steps
into
Delhi,
he
discovers
the
heart
of
old
Delhi
and
finds
peace
amid
the
chaos
that
captivates
him,
particularly
in
the
ancient
walled
city
of
Chandni
Chowk.
The
movie
beautifully
captures
the
essence
of
Delhi,
showing
us
Roshan's
emotions
against
the
backdrop
of
the
city's
vibrant
character.
Message
from
Masakali
A
fantail
pigeon,
popularly
known
as
Masakali,
holds
an
important
message
in
the
film
when
Roshan
asks
Bittu,
"Why
didn't
you
step
outside
and
fly
in
the
sky
of
possibilities?" to
which
Bittu
replies,
"Because
I
am
the
favourite
of
my
papa,
just
like
my
father's
favourite
Masakali
is
tied,
I
am
tied
with
responsibilities".
This
scene
left
a
deep
impact,
showing
how
people
compromise
on
their
dreams
due
to
responsibilities
and
for
the
happiness
of
their
families.
A
glass-half-full
perspective
on
life
In
the
movie,
while
having
a
conversation
with
his
uncle,
i.e
the
late
Rishi
Kapoor,
Abhishek
Bachchan's
character,
Roshan,
taught
us
that
every
aspect
of
life
has
a
brighter
side,
no
matter
how
many
imperfections
the
other
person
may
have,
but
we
should
always
stick
to
the
positive
side.
A
commentary
on
how
fear
can
control
society
In
2001,
Delhi
was
gripped
by
fear
due
to
reports
of
a
creature
resembling
a
monkey
with
metal
claws
and
glowing
red
eyes,
known
as
'Monkey
Man'
or
'Kala
Bandar'.
It
allegedly
attacked
residents,
sparking
panic
and
fear.
The
enigma
captivated
the
nation,
becoming
a
topic
of
intense
concern
in
the
early
2000s.
Based
on
this,
Delhi-6
portrays
how
even
after
years,
when
the
matter
got
settled,
the
fear
remained
the
same,
and
how
an
ongoing
rumour
can
harm
society
when
the
public
mistakes
Roshan
for
the
Monkey
Man.
We
reflect
what
we
are
looking
for
When
Roshan
is
counting
his
last
breaths
and
nearly
about
to
die,
he
meets
his
father
and
realises
the
fact
that
the
evil
(Kala
Bandar),
which
everyone
is
looking
for,
is
not
outside,
but
inside.
Rather
than
pointing
fingers
at
others,
we
should
be
the
ones
to
first
walk
on
the
path
of
goodness
and
burn
our
inner
Kala
Bandar.
Delhi-6
is
not
just
a
film
but
a
mirror
of
society
with
a
deep
message.
The
film
is
a
commentary
on
how
fear
can
control
society
and
how
we
are
often
quick
to
label
and
blame
others
without
looking
at
ourselves.
These
insights
make
Delhi-6
an
impactful
film,
prompting
the
audience
to
do
a
little
introspection,
and
that
is
why,
even
after
15
years
Delhi
6
is
still
a
must-watch.
